Nothing's more fun than beating on your enemies as well as your friends, and that’s why we have roleplay combat!

Whether you’re just getting started, or looking for new ideas to upgrade your current system, there’s something new to learn — no dice, pencil, or paper needed.

There’s a whole great big world out there in Eorzea — so why not get out of your house (or apartment) and roleplay in it?As it turns out, sharing public spaces isn’t always as easy as just avoiding Shout chat. In our discussion of open-world RP events, we discuss the advantages and drawbacks versus housing areas, popular event locations, the etiquette between different chat modes, and what can happen when public RP events clash with the game’s general population.

Ever get the feeling you’re being watched? Even in our fictional lives, all of us participating in RP value a certain level of privacy when it comes to in-character interactions, and feel hurt when that privacy is violated, unintentionally or not. Join us as we discuss the roles of the various out-of-game platforms for sharing, the pros and cons of livestreaming events, and how to make sure you’re doing the right things by your fellow RPers.

We interrupt your usual serious business RP discussion to bring you a very special treat!

So stressful that the Admiral couldn’t seem to handle it without getting drunk, much to the chagrin of the Flame General. How does he handle her overly-emotional rants and monologues?

Wrapping up our series on the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, we rile up the discourse as we discuss Minfilia, her story, and all of her associated fandom controversy. We explore why exactly the leader of the Scions became the fans’ least favorite character, what unfortunate tropes and biases surround female characters (even “strong” ones), what makes a character truly valuable to a story, and how this demonstrates how roleplayers might better write their own original female characters.

Welcome back, adventurers! The months of 2018 have seemingly vanished in a flash, and with them they take away MuseCast’s hiatus! Before we jump back into our usual discussion, we take some time to recap all that was going on when episode recording was not: the massive growth of RP communities on Gilgamesh and Lich; the Great Lockening, Unlockening, and Re-Lockening of Balmung; and content creators from A Stage Reborn to Maelstrom Radio flocking to our beloved home server.
We thank our listeners a million times over, and bid you stay tuned for many exciting upcoming episodes, FanFest 2018 giveaways and interviews, and Extra Life 2018 fundraising fun times.

For the second year in a row, we are proud to bring our listeners a very special year-end treat! MuseCast XIV hosts Emi and Remix Sakura perform an all-original, voice-acted audio play, in the roles of Nanamo ul Namo and Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn.
At the conclusion of the Level 50 Culinarian quest "Revenge of the Chefsbane," Lolorito has been thoroughly embarrassed in front of the Sultana and the Admiral both when his latest shady scheme is foiled. After he leaves the room (and Merlwyb promptly bursts out laughing), we finally get to hear how the two women debated whether or not to let themselves play a few more tricks on him.
Happy Starlight, adventurers!

In this episode, we’re taking our listeners to school as we study up on the undisputed center of knowledge on Hydaelyn – the nation of Sharlayan. On the surface, it seems like an enlightened utopia of learned citizens in the tradition of the Ancient Greeks. However, in a society that values information and education above all else, what becomes of the uneducated working class – and how might the government control the information its citizens receives? How did their strict moral values cause them to abandon their Eorzean colony of New Sharlayan, later turned into Idyllshire? And how exactly does one earn a Ph.D. in the academic study of badassery? Though there will not be a quiz at the end, we’re sure you’ll want to take plenty of notes on this one.

Venture with us out of Eorzea, to the other end of Hydaelyn, and into a new world of roleplay possibilities — the Far East! What do these various regions have and not have in common? What sort of circumstances could bring someone from this region to Eorzea?

This episode features special guests and Ala Mhigan roleplayers Sounsyy Mirke and Avelyn Firestone of Balmung. We sit down to discuss whether Lyse is the real main character of Stormblood, the lives and world views of Fordola and the Crania Lupi (and somehow get back on to the topic of Gaius van Baelsar), what sort of government might best suit the nation, and what you should know when creating your own Ala Mhigan character.
